The Pickard mill will be open to do gristing as usual till the first of April, when we shut down for a couple of mouthsto remodel.

The Equal Rights party in South Huron consider themselves so strong that they .0 may pot a candidate in the field for the local house. Here is a pointer to.drivers on roadways. The law provides that if a man wants to go faster than another who is ahead of him' on the road he is going, he has a right to pass and if he is prevented by the other and an accident should happen thereby, the man, thus obstructing the road isresponsible for damage done, No man has a right. how- ever, to infringe upon the right of others in trying to. pass, The farmers in Tluron are going . more extensively each year into the. raising,of 'Pax, realizing that it pays much better than any other crops. The Myth Stan- dard is informed on the authority of men who know what they are ' talking about, that flax is no harder on land, if properly cultivated, than any other crop. Farmers who put in a crop as an experiment are always more than satisfied with the result. The average yieid last year was a trifle over two tons to the acre. Another ad- vantage about the raising of fax is that it brings the ready money into the farmer earlier than other crops, and is not so nn certain ad regards the yield, lrot so xiadly Mixed! The Mitchell Advocate referring to Mitchell says : "There is a .difference of about $1,000 between the auditors! and treasurer's statements. The auditors claim that their report is correct, This is quite probable, as the treasurer's state- ment concluded with the 15th, of Dee., while that of the auditors' embraces also the dates from the 15th to 31st Decem- ber."—Exeter Tries, The treasurer's statement did not eon, elude with the 15th of December, but the 31st. the same as the auditors'. If our contemporary cannot keep. better posted on affairs coneerning Mitchell, it should mind its own business.—Afitehell Advocate. If it be the ease that the treasurer's statement concluded with the 31st Dec., then the statutes were not adhered to, as it is required of the treasurer and reeve to prepare a statement of the re- ceipts and disbursements up to the 15th December only. Will the Advocate please explain bow this occurred. Regarding the assessment werefer the Advocate to its issue of March 7th, in which will be found among the locals, an item in this eonneetion.

The Bailiff ofZ.irioh had a small claim to collect from a man who was going by train on the day named. He could not levy on his goods which were in the freight cars because they had been shipped from an outlying station and were in transit. The Bailiff did not r ant to be baffled after coming all the way from Zurich. The debtor offered a dollar and a half. The Bailiff asked to see the money and when he produced his pocket book the brawny Bailiff grabbed it and held on to it und* r seizure. It contained but 810 out of which the Bailiff refunded 55 cents. it requiring the balance to liquidate the debt and costs. The Bailiff said the debtor was known to have some $1,500 with him somewhere, hence his persistence in making him pay, News Record. Read Carling Bros' change of advt.

This week a consider- able onsiderable number will leave the County of Lambton for same destination, amongst them, Messrs. Evans, Fisher and Jones of Oilsprings. An open meeting of the Royal Tampion of Temperance, was held in their hail, Fanson'a block, on Monday evg. Tho at- tendance was large, and a splendid pro- gram consisting of singing, readings, reci- tations, etc., was presented. The program was thoroughly appreciated, which was evidenced by the enthusiasm manifested. Preparatory to converting it into a livery stable, Mr. E. Christie has commenced tearing the interior out of the buildings of the Pickard estate purchased by him. Nr C. has a fine property, and permit us tq remark that Mr. Christie, we should judge, could have realized fully more on his in- vestment had he erected a nice brick block. Weunderstand that the action brought against the Molsons Bank by Mr. George Sandwell, assignee of the estate of James Pickard, to set aside two mortgages as fraudulent preferences, has been dropped, by the plaintiff paying costs ; and also that the action brought by Mr. Samwell against Mr. James Stevenson and bailiff Gill, for damages for an illegal distrees for interest under mortgage, has been settled by the defts, they paying Mr. Samwell the entire proceeds of the sale of the goods seized, $25 damages and costs. An eastern exchange pertinently says : "We will never have decent roods while we follow the present system. Just: .Bo long as a man can swindle the public by working out his taxes under the present system by throwing a lot of last year's gutter wash in the middle of the road on rainy days whenthey can do nothing else— just so long will, we have the kind of roads that now inflict us. We will never have decent roads until. the road taxes are collected in cash and worked out by hired workmen under competent supervision." The executive committee of the Toronto city council has decided to publish the assessment roll in pamphlet form. This is a step that will commend itself to the peo- ple of other cities and towns as well. With such an important document in his hands, the ratepayer can ascertain how his as- sessment'compares with that of his neigh- bor, and will probably not be so ready to appcal ifhe fords hatno injusti a ie being g done.' Under the present system the average ratepayer is apt to be suspicious that everything is not square. The number of convictions returned by J.

Peterboro town council intends having 500 copies of the assessment rolls of the town printed, and also inserted in two of the newspapers at a cost of 11150.. Here is an example for our Council to follow, and a good deal more than $150 could be made out of the investment. As a number of our readers do not seem to understand the mode in which the vote was taken on the McCarthy dual language bill and the amendments thereto, and the effect that it had, we will try to explain it as clearly as possible. The main motion was that made by Mr. McCarthy, that the bill be read a second time. Mr. Davin moved his amendment to this, leaving the decision as to the continuance of the dual language in the Northwest to the •people there. Sir John Thompson then moved an amendment to Mr. Davin's amendment, re- hearsing the covenants, &e., in reference to the use of Fiench in Canada, and leaving the question of its continuance in the o incil decided theca be ec orth•west to e Nby there after a vote of the people, which de- cision would be approved or otherwise by the Dominion Parliament. By a well known parliamentary rule the vote is first taken on the amendment to the amendment and as this was carriedin this case then it supersedes and takes the place of the other amendment and the main motion, conse- quently there was no opportunity given to vote on either Mr. Davan's amendment or. Mr. McCarthy's motion. This is what has confused some people, for they could not understand bow those in favor of Mr. McCarthy's: motion, those in favor of Mr. Davin's amendment and those opposed to both these, as well as to Sir. John Thomr- son's amendment, should be all voting the one way But they had to do this in order to give then, an opportunity to vote for the amendment or motion which. they favored.
